The "What was the point of that?" Thread

[Misskermie]

Any Muppet Muppet moments you thought were absolutely pointless?


Here's mine: Robin's appearance as the green fairy in IAVMMCM


Why was he there....?


Eh.


What about you guys?

 

[CensoredAlso]

I would ask what was the point of IAVMMCM period but...

But seriously, probably some of the sketches in the first season of Muppet Show which ended kind of awkwardly, hehe.

Just because Moulin Rouge! has green fairies in it.

I agree, it's pretty random.

I would say the same thing about MWO. Why was that movie even made?

 

[Vincent L]

For $

 

[Pinkflower7783]

Yeah well it didn't get my $$.

Well, the book is Jim's favorite, so I guess at one stage it did make sense. I just don't understand why it was made with so much darkness. I really enjoy some of the emotional complexity of the relationships between characters though...like the moment that Gonzo helps Fozzie across the bridge. Really nice.

Take out Ashanti, and you'd have a half good movie...

I think they could've made that movie much better. Maybe Janice as Dorothy? That would be too much of a "risk to people who don't know character like her." Ashanti was not a good choice IMO.

As for the Green Fairy reference, I think it was kind-of designed as a "shock moment" for people who know Moulin Rouge who might find it humourous/shocking for the Muppets to make Absenthe-themed-jokes, and/or to have Robin as this character from the movie!

Here's one: The realistic-style dog from KSY. What was the point of that?

 

[CaseytheMuppet]

Oh, I hated her. It would have been cool to see someone like Afghan Hound, more Muppet like.
